After suffering a devastating knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley, which cast doubt on his boxing future, Anthony Joshua maintains that his career is “far from over.”
In front of a record-breaking official crowd of over 98,000, Joshua was looking to make history by winning the IBF world heavyweight title on Saturday. However, he was knocked out in the fifth round.
The 34-year-old was floored four times by Dubois and many people called for Joshua to retire afterwards.
But the British former Olympic champion released a video on X on Monday saying his journey in boxing is not over yet, with a potential rematch with Dubois as well as another all-British clash with Tyson Fury options in the future.
Joshua said he was determined to take the positives from the situation despite his mauling — the fourth defeat of a 32-fight career in boxing.
“What a rollercoaster journey, but do you know what the problem is? It is far from over yet,” he said.
“We’ve done it once, we’ve done it twice, doing it a third time hasn’t been easy but I believe it is something I can achieve. It’s about making the right steps forward, working hard, improving and it has to come from here (heart) more than anything.
“It’s only been a day but I know when I sit back I know I’ve got a lot of this (heart), thanks for your support, thanks for being on this rollercoaster journey with me.
“Keep your seatbelts tight because deep down in here I know we have a lot more to bring to this game.”
